Today’s card was made using Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. Many of the designs I’ve previously shared using this paper have been with the floral side of the paper but as you can see, there’s a variety of different designs!
To create today’s card, I started by running a piece of Purple Posy cardstock through my die-cutting machine using the Subtle embossing folder. Then I added a piece of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper (DSP) to the lower half of the Purple Posy cardstock (you can find all the measurements I used below the Supply List). Before adhering this piece to the Mint Macaron card base, I wrapped our Flax Ribbon around the card so I could cover up where the cardstock and DSP meet. I used Multipurpose Glue to adhere this entire piece to the card base.
The sentiment was stamped onto Whisper White cardstock using the FREE Sale-a-Bration stamp set, Sending You Thoughts. I cut it out, along with a larger rectangle in Mint Macaron, using my die-cutting machine and the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. After adhering the two pieces together, I added Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back and adhered it to the front of the card.
Since I had some extra Designer Series Paper, I glued some to the flap of my envelope. It makes the envelope look so fancy! If you want to give this a try, it’s super simple and the short video below will show you how to do it!

On to today’s card! This is a super easy card to make but the gold embossing on the paper and the sentiment gives it that WOW factor!
I started with a base of Thick Whisper White cardstock and then added a layer of Basic Black cardstock with another layer of Golden Honey Designer Series Paper.
The sentiment was stamped in Versamark ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set, Seriously the Best. Rubbing an Embossing Buddy over the surface of your paper before embossing will help to repel stray particles of embossing powder. After sprinkling Gold Embossing Powder over the sentiment, I heated it up with my Heat Tool. Then I cut it out with a die-cutting machine and the Layering Ovals Dies. A larger oval was cut out of Basic Black and the two were layered together. Stampin’ Dimensionals were added to the back before adhering it to the card.
You can find the measurements I used below the Supply List.

I started with a base of Mint Macaron cardstock and added a layer of Purple Posy cardstock and then another layer of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. My banner was created using the Banner Triple Punch and then embossed with the Eyelet Lace Embossing Folder. My motto is, why leave a piece of cardstock plain when you can emboss it!?
After the banner was adhered with Multipurpose Glue, I added one of our Pearlized Doilies. The sentiment was stamped in Mint Macaron ink onto Whisper White cardstock. It was adhered to a piece of Purple Posy cardstock and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
To finish the card, I added a strip of Best Dressed Designer Series Paper to the inside.
Enjoy your day!

Once you learn to make a flower using the Dahlia Fold Technique, it’s pretty hard to stop at just one! If you visited yesterday, you know that I shared another card using this technique with our Best Dressed Designer Series Paper. If you’d like to see yesterday’s card, you can check it out here.
To create the flower on my card today, I used See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper. The base of the card is Night of Navy cardstock with a layer of Whisper White cardstock which I ran through my die-cutting machine using the Hammered Metal Embossing Folder (all the supplies I used can be found in the Supply List below).
As I mentioned yesterday, about 1-1/2 years ago, I made a video showing how to create the flower using a 1-3/4″ Circle Punch but since then, the punch has retired. For today’s card, I used a circle in the Layering Circles Dies (the inside of the circle is approximately 1-7/8″) and I used our 2-1/4″ Circle Punch as a base to glue the pieces to. In the video I use a larger circle as I show you how to make the fold so that it’s easier to see what I’m doing and I recommend doing the same thing when you’re practicing BUT don’t use cardstock, use a thinner paper such as computer paper. You’ll get frustrated trying to make the folds if your paper is too heavy. You can view the video HERE and please note that several products in the video have since retired.
The sentiment was stamped in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White cardstock using the stamp set Butterfly Gala. It was die-cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies and popped up with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I hope you’ll give this fold a try! It may look difficult but it really is much easier than it looks!
